How does physical adsorption of mixed gas occur on solid? (eg I mean how the gas molecules of compete each other for a slot on solid surface)
I am working on sorption phenomenon of gases (including inert gas) on coal seam surface.
For a mixture of 2 gases at a certain pressure, carbon dioxide and methane, for instance, $\ce{CO2}$ is ...

What is a typical monolayer formation time for liquid phase adsorbate on a solid surface?
Let's say a solid is submerged in a solution of species with functional groups and a self-assembled monolayer is forming. What are the typical time scales for the formation of a continuous monolayer? (...

Dynamic viscosity of gas mixture (appropriate estimation)
What estimation of the dynamic viscosity $\eta = f(T)$ $([\eta] = \pu{Pa·s})$ of the gas mixture components would you recommend during adsorption at a low temperature, approx. $\pu{293 K}$ to $\pu{333 ...

Diffused Layer ion in Electrix Double Layer
When KI is added to AgNO3 soln, so AgNO3 is in excess, collidal particle is AgI:Ag+ with diffused layer of I-, Why is the diffused layer not of NO3- when the anion in excess is NO3-?
If we had KI in ...

Type of adsorption in catalysis
why type of adsorption takes place during catalysis? It can't be physisorption because it involves formation of chemical bond. It shouldn't be chemisorption too because it is characterised by ...

Is BET equation applicable to only monolayer adsorption range?
One of my senior colleagues is stating that although BET adsorption isotherm equation hypothesises about multilayer adsorption, the P/P0 values (usually from 0.05 to 0.3) accountable for BET surface ...

Aren't "lack of specificity" and "nature of adsorbate" contradictory factors in physisorption?
It was mentioned in my course book under "Characteristics of physisorption" that:
Lack of specificity: An adsorbent does not show any preference for a particular gas as the van der Waal's ...
